[Tango-A] NA-C: "CRIMES & WHISPERS" A tango of Despair and Defiance. Performing in Minneapolis

[Florencia Taccetti]

Hello again,

I just want to thank the presence of many of you that
I saw attending our performance on last week-end.
If you like it, please spread the voice between your
friends because we have one more week-end left and
will be the last one.
So please make your reservations soon because is going
to sold out easy this weekend.
The show makes the $17 really worth it after you see
all the work there is behind, and students and seniors
pay $15.

I also want to say that this is also a part of the
Argentine History that people who dance tango should
know.
My friend Vance from Austin, Texas was here last
week-end as many of you know because he went to the
friday milonga.
He saw the show and he meet me for congratulations at
the end and he start strongly crying on my chest and
when I asked him why he sayd, ..."This is so much
about tango, this is totaly part of tango"... and
start telling me that first he was deeply touch by one
of Silvia's pictures that was exhibit on the hall, 
plus he said  "I was in the Plaza with the madres in
the last visit to BSAS and I saw them walk, and after
seeing the show, it was bringing to me so many deep
emotions that I totaly relate them with tango"...

Below there is some tangueros comments and info about
the show.
I hope to see you there,

Thanks again for your presence,

Florencia

Larry and Ingrid attended with a friend last Saturday
and felt that the performance was teriffic! How the
cast was able to perform in the heat was another great
demonstration of performing at your absolute best at
great sacrifice.
Feel free to pass along our favorable opinion.
Wishing you all the best.

Larry and Ingrid
------------------------------------------------------------

IT WAS TRULY FABULOUS, your control of emotion til the
right moment, of tenderness, of fear, of quick and of
slow, were all so apparent in every move that you did.
I was myself very moved by the whole production and
congratulate you and Gerry and everyone. but
especially you. I hope you can appear again in a
contemporary dance event. you are a marvelous
performer.
 Congratulations,

 Judith Ingber

Crimes and Whispers
A Tango of Despair and Defiance
 
at Jawaahir Dance Theatre
July  14 thru 30
 
In Buenos Aires there is an ongoing struggle for
control over the memory of the disappeared, the
thousands of innocent citizens kidnapped and murdered
in the 1970's and 80's by a vicious military junta
unrepentant in their patriotic defense of national
security. It is a struggle between this same military
establishment, the mothers and grandmothers of the
disappeared, and a general public blinded by fear and
apathy to the tearing asunder of their proud and
passionate culture.
 
Crimes and Whispers is a unique theatrical dance
collaboration that fuses the acrobatic modern dance
choreography of Gerry Girouard,
the expertise of master Tango dancer and Buenos Aires
native Florencia Taccetti, and the theatrical
